@randahl I think the Supreme Court has just set aside the laws of the constitution.

Coldoug Jul 2, 2024

US democracy is standing at the crossroads.

Trump = Putin

He refuses to accept election results unless he wins, and win he will.

He's not insane, but he isn't very bright. He lacks a moral compass and believes his own publicity.

I suspect his desire for revenge against all who have stood against him will be biblical, and may well supercede his Presendential responsibilities.

Hopefully it will be what brings him down.

But he will have 4 years to alter the constitution.

@beingreal @randahl
SCOTUS already put the constitution aside for him. They've declared a president can do anything as long as SCOTUS does not interpret it to be beyond the periphery of the duties tangentially related to his office.

Trump will be allowed to do whatever the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation want to allow because, importantly, it isn't a blanket approval. Only SCOTUS can grant the rights to dictatorship, and only after the act occurs. (I won't be surprised if they can use this ruling to limit Biden even further, somehow)

@RnDanger @randahl

Yeah that makes sound slightly reasonable until you consider that the Supreme Court judges were appointed by Trump. They are Trump men. They owe him.

So to say they have the final say or to believe they have any kind of control is just not true.

Trump has been confident he would walk away from his crimes for one simple reason - he owns the Supreme Court judges. They would not be in post if not for him.

So no. Not relevant.

I'm sorry if I've said anything that seemed like it was meant to inspire confidence in SCOTUS, that was not at all my point or intention.

SCOTUS is lawless and they have an agenda to complete.

@randahl The coup is happening now in realtime. The time for action is now

Francisca Sinn Jul 2, 2024

@randahl Agreed, except the attempted coup is ongoing, it never ended. Trump was installed, and they’ve been planning to ignore the Constitution for years. It’s only words on paper if no one enforces it.

Clear and present danger…

JefeBromden Jul 2, 2024

@randahl It's great that people continue to be reminded of this things, but if I know ONE thing about right-wing party voters is that they have a 10 second memory and a 5 second attention span. It's like that fish on Finding Nemo. How ironic that fish is a CLOWNfish

And it's not only US, is all over the world. Here in Argentina we have Milei as president, and is walking the same path as D.T. Now is all over the news: "The president is fighting the people who put him in power: The Market"

@randahl I guess our great "Founders" did want, and would condone, Presdents abolve the vaw and with dictatorial powers?

Kevin Russell Jul 2, 2024

The powers were given to the President. I urge President Biden to be as careful and bold with protecting children, the constititution and the future now, in the face of an apprehended insurrection, as these new powers grant him.

Hey @potus, you can do more to protect our #democracy & #constitution from this #fascist.

@randahl
“When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune,” Sotomayor wrote.

Democracy in the USA barely survived Trumps first term. If he wins this election it will be the last.

Anyway, he will declare himself the winner no matter what the result is, so be prepared for that.

@randahl ...and what are we gonna do about it?

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl Apparently Vote. Hahahahah. This is a Coup and we are the fools that think the Oligarchy and Putin won't win

@otownKim @randahl ...JFC... we're in for one hell of a ride....😬 🤦

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl Yep! This shit started with Reagan!!!!!

@otownKim @randahl It did.... but we haven't been stopping it (other than Obama... I was pretty hopeful there for a minute...)...

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl I actually thought Clinton did a phenomenal job too. Obama made me feel better about the country and now ....here we are

@otownKim @randahl yep... we are! 🤣

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl I honestly don't know what we can do. I vote then my vote is stolen. 2000 Gore/Bush. Clinton/Drumpf 2016. The electorate, billionaires, cooperations, MSM and now the Illegitimate SCOTUS are all against us. It's fucking infuriating!!

@otownKim @randahl SAME!!! Every. single. time.
In fact last time, I was literally told to 'not bother cuz your vote won't count' (i voted blue in a crimson state and sure enough it's like i pissed in the wind! The entire system is useless and they're gerrymandering the fack out of it anyway!🤬

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl Ugh 😩

@otownKim @randahl yeah.

@VeroniqueB99 @otownKim

It didn't start with #RonaldReagan, though he was a successful paragon of rightwing #Republicanism.

It started in 1965 at the latest:

@HistoPol @otownKim @randahl oh yeah you're right of course, but Reagan was a hinge point. A point of no return if you will precipitated by the whole 'trickle down' shite.🙄

#UShistory #USpol #Reagonomics

@VeroniqueB99

You are right, Vee, #Reagan did pull out most of the stops and changed the US political system for decades, until this very day:

@otownKim @randahl

@HistoPol @otownKim @randahl riiight... jeeesus h. 🤦

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl a ride I want to get off of!

@otownKim @randahl you got company there....🙄

@VeroniqueB99 @randahl I'm doing edibles, walking, and watching Brain dead TV to cope. I hope you have something to help!

@otownKim @randahl I do... I'm very much removed and I'm just settling in a new 'homestead' of sorts so a lot of chicken caring, gardening, planting/harvesting/cooking/freezing foods and opening mf boxes by the dozen....! 👍

@randahl The MSM is in on it too

So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in
working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party,
do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the
RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of
this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations
and articles, even those found...

Tagging it #TheCoupIsOngoing because the way #Jan6 was dealt with afterwards was indicative enough that nothing significant has been done to stop it from happening again. Nearly all at the top are still walking free, even for their other crimes.
This time the rule of law will not help the people, because SCOTUS has finally shown its real purpose.
